### 7.5 Run gpgconf for all users.

This script is a wrapper around `gpgconf` to run it with the command `--apply-defaults` for all real users with an existing GnuPG home directory. Admins might want to use this script to update he GnuPG configuration files for all users after `/etc/gnupg/gpgconf.conf` has been changed. This allows to enforce certain policies for all users. Note, that this is not a bulletproof of forcing a user to use certain options. A user may always directly edit the configuration files and bypass gpgconf.

`applygnupgdefaults` is invoked by root as:
